Ayurveda originated in India more than 5,000 years ago and is the oldest continuously practiced health-care system in the world. This system encourages us to catch imbalance before it begins to create disease. The Ayurvedic system of medicine prescribes changes, often simple ones, in diet, lifestyle, and environment to bring individuals into balance with the elements of their constitution, climate, and daily life.
